This course provides a comprehensive overview of low-carbon buildings, focusing on their significance for sustainable development goals with an emphasis on the engineering aspects of building design and operation.

It covers the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in building design, construction, and operation for low carbon buildings. The course also explores the role of building materials, construction techniques, and engineering systems in achieving low-carbon buildings. Various strategies, technologies, and approaches for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in areas such as HVAC, electrical services, water resources, and indoor air quality will be discussed. The challenges, opportunities, and engineering solutions for low-carbon buildings in different contexts will be examined, along with an exploration of the policies, regulations, and incentives associated with low carbon buildings. The new SIT Punggol campus, home to two super low energy buildings, will be used as a living lab to demonstrate the best-in-class energy-efficient buildings.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
